Of trains and Derby and Chester Woo-wooo!

So there is a plan in place to rescue me from this doldrums.

1) AC and I get on the train at 0820ish tomorrow morning.2) Change at Ely3) Change at Leicester4) Arrive Derby5) Lunch, chat, See Old Haunts.6) Depart Derby7) Change at Crewe8) Arrive Chester9) Get collected by Caroline and breathe a sigh of relief.

Whilst with her we'll do the AC's school shopping, veg out, eat Jaffa Cakes, buy me some clothes that fit, then she'll drive back on Sunday, stay over night and disappear some time Monday morning.

Before we go I need to................

pack things for us - not much (after all, going to ASDA living!)sort out the fish, cat and pig food (Rachel has offered to feed them!)do the dishwasherhoover throughclear the dining room tableChurch noticesChill.

Sew more! The rainbow bargello-ish looks gorgeously good.

The heebie-jeebies are gone after more sleep and tears today. I've just got up from a 2 hour nap and feel much better.
